Identifying and Characterizing User Communities on Twitter during Crisis EventsIIIT Hyderabad
Twitter is a prominent online social media which is used to share information and opinions. Previous research has shown that current real world news topics and events dominate the discussions on Twitter. In this paper, we present a preliminary study to identify and characterize communities from a set of users who post messages on Twitter during crisis events. We present our work in progress by analyzing three major crisis events of 2011 as case studies (Hurricane Irene, Riots in England, and Earthquake in Virginia). Hurricane Irene alone, caused a damage of about 7-10 billion USD and claimed 56 lives. The aim of this paper is to identify the different user communities, and characterize them by the top central users. First, we defined a similarity metric between users based on their links, content posted and meta-data. Second, we applied spectral clustering to obtain communities of users formed during three different cri- sis events. Third, we evaluated the mechanism to identify top central users using degree centrality; we showed that the top users represent the topics and opinions of all the users in the community with 81% accuracy on an average. The top central people identified represent what the entire community shares. Therefore to understand a community, we need to monitor and analyze only these top users rather than all the users in a community.

18. Lessons Learned
Social Media as a Sensor:
• New form of communication for Emergency Managers.
• Integration of Social Media data with critical infrastructure layer reveals new
insights.
• Numerous data layers in a common operating picture enables execution of
communication before, during, and after an event.
• The more participants in Social Media, the higher the resolution of the data.
• Social Media data provides governmental entities, first responders, and relief
organizations a robust means of communication with the general public.
• Capitalizes on the natural desire of individuals to share information during
emergencies.
Other Uses:
• Private companies could leverage a similar system to achieve different goals,
such as: Fraud prevention, resource allocation, and prioritization of restoration of
services.

Editor's Notes
Update logo on this slide.
As is.
As is.
Better call out boxes. These are representing tweets from RedCross and FEMA.
Need to fix the house icons for some of these. We added in a few extras.
Need better labels for the shelters. These should look different than the tweet callouts. Need to update the RedCross icons to be the same as the ones embedded in the map.
Use the same tweet box you update on slide 6, here. Create a legend for the flood zones (line that goes from orange to green, with “Flood Zones” above the line)
Add heat map icons to the area … maybe 3 or 4 (like the one next to Williamsburg Bridge).
